Seriously one of the best apps for any transit I have witnessed. Compared to Connecticut (SEAT bus) and everywhere else, this is how buses should be. You can look up your trip from your current location, it will GPS you to the proper bus stop, you can even watch the buses drive around on the app. You can buy tickets via your phone and even pay with your app. Hands down a must have if you're car less in the Des Moines area.

Storage options do not work as stated. Passes stored in Cloud are not accessible on other devices. I just got a new phone and the pass stored in the Cloud says "Saved Elsewhere" and doesn't show up at all in storage settings. My friend who had his pass stored on his device also couldn't access his without a connection to wifi without service on his phone. This is a serious inconvenience especially when DART is closed and we have church at 9AM in the morning. Please fix or stop false advertising.

I have a very long daily commute to where I work, so it's always imperative that I am able to get there every day at the same time. I have a bus stop right outside of my apartment, but that bus is always late and I can never get to work on time because if it. I have to leave at 5:45 AM most of the time to get on a bus that gets me there on time. The thing that I actually love about this app is the ability to buy my bus tickets whenever I want, wherever I want as long as I am using my mobile data or Wi-Fi. I do wish I wouldn't have to use my data all the time though. The newest update has added a much needed way to check the arrival of the buses that pass the stop you are near. It's been improving, but I wish they would do more to help.
